Definetly one of my favorite films dealing with the law and human decency, they actually played this one along with "12 angry men" in a psychology class on my university once, they usually run out of the things to say to us and just chose films dealing with law and play them :)s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-215842751732284872012-05-03T08:18:02.344-04:002012-05-03T08:18:02.344-04:00Great review, Obama said this one of the films tha...Great review, Obama said this one of the films that most inspired him on a recent TV broadcast introducing this film.<br /><br />Anyway this film is great, an iconic role for Peck undoubtedly.

The kids loved it. We'd watch the film after completing the unit and they really enjoyed it. Atticus Finch is one of the most respected fictional characters ever--good choice, Chip.Kimberly J.M.

It's interesting that you've heard that from others about black and white films. I used to work with a woman who refused to watch anything that wasn't in color. I was never successful in getting her to watch a black and white film, no matter how much the subject matter interested her. She's the only person I've ever encountered that from.<br /><br />@Paul S - I see from your profile that I picked the right movie to attract your attention. Like any book to film transition there are things that change. The bonus from the movie is seeing Atticus Finch brought to life by Gregory Peck. And as SJHoneywell pointed out, the cinematography is fantastic.<br /><br />@3guys1movie - Thanks. I thought about mentioning that about Harper Lee. At first I was going to make this post a combination book review and movie review, like I have others in the past, but I finally decided it had been too long since I last read the book, so I concentrated on just the movie.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-60260752637300073112012-05-02T19:25:32.675-04:002012-05-02T19:25:32.675-04:00Nice write up chip, such an amazing film and perfo...Nice write up chip, such an amazing film and performance by Peck. <br /><br />Thanks for the heads up about Harper Lee with the watch, thats new info for me. <br /><br />Crazy that Lee never really published anything again after knocking this one out of the park.3guys1movie.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062517557452204681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-85295832553068582362012-05-02T18:09:54.514-04:002012-05-02T18:09:54.514-04:00I love the book, and although I've bought the ...I love the book, and although I've bought the DVD I've put off watching it until now.<br />You've convinced me to take the plunge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-67525582905349685462012-05-02T16:15:00.811-04:002012-05-02T16:15:00.811-04:00This is one hell of a film.

It's a real labor of love from everyone involved.<br /><br />Few things are as moving as when Atticus walks out of the courtroom at the end. That is a true cinematic moment, a piece of perfection.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
